We are hosting a book signing by author Pat Hall featuring her newest picture book, “Beasties,” on Saturday, October 3rd from 1 pm to 3 pm at Raven's Wish. “Beasties” is illustrated by Pat’s daughter Emmeline Hall Forrestal. Hall and Forrestal are also the author and illustrator of the award-winning “Ida May’s Borrowed Trouble,” which will also be available during the signing.

“Beasties” is the story of a child who learns to handle the scary “beasties” in the closet and under the bed by making them count things. The core message of the book is that by extending a kindness one often finds that “a beastie might turn out to be a friend you haven’t met.” Included in the book is a recipe for Beastly-Good Cookies.
